Dwarf fighter build opinion 2 years 3 months ago #1

Build opinions wanted for Dwarf Fighter. As is : Melee hit 13, dam 8, ac40. Ranged hit 7, dam 8, ac 38. Saves fort 19, reflex 21, will 10. Wearing a belt of thorns to give 10 points retribution.

What difficulty level?

A full build would be helpful.

More TE is always good.

The easiest way I know of to post your full build on the forums is to create it in the web-based character creator. There’s a button that makes it very easy and formats the results nicely.

With an AC of 40/38, you probably won’t do much retribution damage, except maybe on Epic. If you are aiming for a retribution build, you might want to tank your AC (and put more HP and retribution damage in your build).

I've got it on the character creator, how do I link it without giving someone account access to the page. (Still kinda new to the tech stuff)
Wasn't really going for a retribution build specifically, just the best belt I had when I was running a defender set before upgrades to blessed redoubt set for the ac.

Belt of Thorns works best with a lower AC - as is monsters will have a hard time hitting you (and thus taking the retribution). I like your idea of switching to Orion’s for the TE and extra will save.

There's a button in the top right when you're on your character page -

"Export Character Forum HTML"

then you just paste the text in the forums.

Even though the URL contains the word "edit", it won't actually allow editing by anyone who isn't logged in as you. (You can test this for yourself by opening it in a Private Browsing window)

Yes, my AC is lower than the Wizard's. No regrets!

The gauntlets are probably my next upgrade, most likely to death knight

These are the tokens I'd look to change out. High AC and damage reduction against attacks that have to hit is nonsynergistic. As people have mentioned, Retribution and high AC is nonsynergistic. If you were running solo, might be different, but not a lot of folks do that.

I'd rather rares than a number of the URs. Shaed, as much as I want to like it, would make more sense as +2 Cloak of Resistance. I'd rather Shirt of the Elder than Shirt of the Underdark. Damage boots or attribute bump over Dirtdazzy's. Ioun Stone to do melee damage should be easy to find. Lot of useful rings, Ring of Iron Will for instance. Belt of Thorns whichever belt that evens out your STR, Ogre Mage shouldn't go for that much.

Not terribly clear why Dungeonbane is on DEX. If part of the reason is to jack up AC, that's fine. AC becomes a lot more interesting the fewer number of people on the run. For NM, high 30s does mean unlikely to get hit.

Sure, can just ignore saves. Then, saves are dungeon dependent. But, not giving up much to get better saves. Can blow off Will for Fort or Ref if those seem more important. Alternatively, can load up on STR and damage in more slots.

Have two more bead slots. Bead of the Dire Bear is readily available. Can do whatever for third.

In general, if the idea is NM/Epic, more STR/to hit/dmg. VTD is a different animal as maybe good at sliding, but for VTD, would look for +18 to hit or higher and aim for +20 or more damage. This assumes interested in fitting some typical paradigm for what is desirable.

The damage reduction I'd look to run in a build with a much lower AC.

I think I agree with Ian’s list of tokens. Unless the blessed redoubt set was swapped out for deathknight at which point you have boots to get (maybe direct trade) gloves and an armor which is going to give you a lot of trade options.
